[Eun's heart is beating wildly in her chest as she stands in the bedroom. She's not sure whether she wants to curse Jae for coming home when she wasn't expecting him, or herself for not sensing his approach. Or even for wrapping herself in that illusory scene to begin with. Embarrassment doesn't even begin to cover the feelings she's dealing with now, and any hope she might have had of this going unspoken of is lost when Jae calls out her name. Not about to answer, she stands there, staring at her locked door, face red and mind thrown into chaos.
Why did she do it? Why? Jae's smart, it wouldn't take more than a night or two of contemplation for him to put together what he knows of her and what he saw her doing and make some uncomfortably accurate guesses as to what she was up to and why. She's a demon now, and no part of her is supposed to show weakness. She is supposed to be using their bond to tempt him into losing himself through his own pride and folly. She's supposed to be endangering his soul...
And yet there she is instead, flaunting her own weaknesses. As if the power in this arrangement weren't already skewed so heavily in his favor to begin with...
Maybe if she's quiet long enough he'll go away and never speak of this.]
